The Wake of Physics

Following last week’s open letter to the AQA, Wellington Grey has posted on his blog to thank everyone for their support. It seems he had quite a response, being linked from digg, reddit and boingboing. He has followed it up with two things.

The first is an online petition, which Wellington himself says is most probably futile, but there it is none the less. At this time, the link to the petition from Wellington’s site was not working and I couldn’t find any trace of it via the government site’s search.

Secondly though, and back to form perhaps, Wellington Grey presents a new cartoon, this one outlining ‘The New Physics Exam’. Note that question 3 is a real one from an AQA textbook.
